G. W. F. Hegel (1770-1831), the influential German philosopher,
believed that human history was advancing spiritually and morally
according to God's purpose. At the beginning of Lectures on the
History of Philosophy, Hegel writes: "What the history of
Philosophy shows us is a succession of noble minds, a gallery of
heroes of thought, who, by the power of Reason, have penetrated
into the being of things, of nature and of spirit, into the Being
of God, and have won for us by their labours the highest treasure,
the treasure of reasoned knowledge." Volume 3 of Lectures on the
History of Philosophy, titled Medieval and Modern Philosophy for
this Bison Books edition, begins with a survey of the philosophy of
the middle ages, leaving the pagan world for the Christian and
extending to the sixteenth century A.D. Hegel shows how scholastic
theology and philosophy developed through the efforts of Peter
Lombard, Thomas Aquinas, and others. Hegel's treatment of the
modern period of philosophy focuses on Bacon, Descartes, Spinoza,
Locke, Hobbes, Leibnitz, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Fichte.

the History of Philosophy, titled Plato and the Platonists for this
Bison Books edition, introduces the most renowned disciple of
Socrates and the theory of Platonic forms before moving to Plato's
disciple, Aristotle, whose advance to scientific thinking is
carefully detailed. The subsequent increasing systematization and
sophistication of philosophy leads to a discussion of the Stoics,
Epicureans, and Sceptics. The first period in the history of
philosophy comes to maturity with Plotinus in the third century
